Wanted a simple way for quick pick ups & it’s working great. Thought my rugs were clean but after seeing the amount of ???? it collects I was wrong. Easy to use & very portable.
It works great until it doesn’t. It will only stay charged about 10 miniutes

Hello, thank you for sharing your experience with the Dyson V8 Absolute. We're pleased to hear that it works well for you, but we regret that the battery life has been disappointing. Battery performance can be affected by various factors, including usage patterns and charging habits. We recommend using the vacuum in Normal mode for everyday cleaning and reserving Max mode for short, intensive bursts to help extend battery life. Additionally, ensuring the vacuum is stored at room temperature and allowing it to cool down before recharging can also help maintain battery health. We would like to look further into this for you. For detailed information, please feel free to email us at askdysonUS@dyson.com and include ‘Dyson Review’ in the subject line for prompt attention to this matter.
The unit has very good power and is ultra lightweight. However, the use the power, the battery will last only 7 minutes maximum time. Additionally, all of the latches to open the unit to clean are poorly made of cheap plastic and hard to open. They’ll break easily. I have been working with Dyson to replace the unit but they want me to ship it back without a replacement unit for 18 “business days”. Unacceptable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe I hesitated to buy this V8 cordless model - changed my life! Works perfectly, easy to empty the bin, love the upholstery attachment - in fact it has cleaned a couch that my dog chewed a rawhide on, and previously it was very hard to get that sticky dry stuff out. I can have company over, people running all over my house, then it just takes minutes after they leave to clean up. I have no problem with the charge length - and we have a big house. I usually use the lower power level and it works perfectly. Highly recommend.
